3 minutes….
that's all it took to miss check in for our flight to NYC and enjoy an extended delay of 4 hours at the wonderful airport in Las Vegas. (tongue planted firmly in cheek there!) If you are so keen to gamble you can even have a go while waiting for your bag to arrive see here it is..
Although there are some really tacky sides to Las Vegas ( men on streets handing our cards for girls to come to your hotel, and a truck driving around to tell you that there are HOT BABES waiting to meet you, yes YOU, they really want to meet you!) there is still a lot to enjoy.
The girls wanted to go to the buffet at the Pink Flamingo ( they were hungry and hung over, that is the excuse) so we went but IT WAS CLOSED for renovations! But we got to see the real pink flamingos here they are, they are really quite amazing colours.
Yesterday we went on a helicopter tour over Hoover Dam and to the Grand Canyon. We landed above the Colorado river and had a champers ( as you do!) and had a look around. The chipmunks come out for a look and some of your snacks, they are soooo cute! I wanted to bring one home, but I think customs may have something to say about that.

Here is some snaps and some video from the trip…….

Dinner in Paris last night! Steak Frites just as good as I have had in the real Paris
and then an early night, because we had to be at the airport at 6.15 for our flight, BUT

something the GPS does not tell you..
THE RENTAL CAR RETURN STATION HAS MOVED and is now further from the airport than our hotel was, hence the loss of the vital 3 MINUTES to get to the check in
BUT all is not bad, the time as given me the opportunity to write something for the blog.
